T^rVE STOCK.
STOCK RAISINO IN TOE SOUTH.
There is a clnss of men throughout
tho piney woods bolt of tho south, who
have dovoted themselves: to cattle mid
sheep raising. JSomo of thoir establish
ments are largo, including ono te three
thousand oattlo, and more sheep. The
habits of these men aro almost nomadic ;
of consequence they live without com
forts, and their children grow up witli
little education. But in Georgia, and
probably elsewhere nuder similar cir
cumstances, they have made money,
receiving only gold, which is put in a
Blocking or in a trunk, and is really of
no more use to the owner than so much
gravel. It is by no means proposed to
sot this mode of agricultural lifo as au
example to the southern people, simply
because it is attended with peouniary
profit. The instanco is cited to show
that under all the disadvantages of tho
case, tho only class which has devoted
itself to stock raising has made money.
Every planter has moro or less live
stock. Formerly a serious attention
was given to hog raising. It was tho
ambition of the planter to provide his
own bacon, but rarely any for sale. Ho
had a few sheep, and, nuder favorable
circumstances a considerable gang of
cattle. But tho sheep he rarely saw
unless they were brought up to., bo
salted, or tho remnant ot the flock ran
homo for protection against an inoursion
of the dogs. The sheep wore sufficient
in number to mako him lose his temper
when the dogs killed them, but not suf
ficient either in yield of mntton or wool,
to counterbalance the annoyance.
Cattle were turned out in the spring
generally very poor, gaining flesh slow
ly, as the season advanced, saleable at
low prices, as grass beef in the fall. If
not sold tho hope was to carry them
through the winter, without shelter,
thoir only feed being straw and shucks,
tho supply of both being limited. No
ono can say that finis is an exaggerated
picture of the av?rago cattle and sheep
raising in the cotton states. There are,
of conrse, exceptions. But how many of
the planters who read these lines adopt
a bettor system with ree ard to their
sheep and cattle than the one described?
Can this be called stock raising ?
If a land-holder should put his cotton
or corn in the ground, let thom alono to
find their own food, plant roots being
able to travel and find their own vict
uals, plants having enemies as well, and
then in tho autumn return to pick thc
ono and gather tho other, would ho be
called a planter? Just as well as thc
man should be called a stook-raiser whe
leaves his stock to shift for themselves,
Under this treatment of crop we mighl
well say that farming was n failure, tu
well as Btock-r .ising. Stock-raising ii
a business and must be followed as i
business. Not a solo and sopnrate busi
ness, but as muob so as the cotton, corn
and wheat, etc., on a plantation, requir
ing care as regularly, though not of si
long daily continuance as tho crops
Growing stock must be attended to, a
well as growing plants. And, whei
grown, both must bo prepared for mai
ket, if we expect to derive a profit fror
them. Corn in tho Bhuck, or cotton i
the seed, would be as little likely to fin
sale in a distant market as half fi
cattle or sheep. Instead of preparin
our stock for market in the winter, the
lose in the winter what they have gaine
in the summer and autumn-it ia
a Penelope's web, lasting very often tl
natural life of the poor animal. Whc
he is in fair order in the summer, 1
cannot be sold, for fresh meat is a druj
When he would bring a good price i
market, ho is too poor to eat pr sell.
Besides the want of habitual attontioi
thiB offering of live stock for sale at tl
wrong season of tho year, in consequent
of their poverty in tho winter, is a m
terial cause of the failure lu make Hi
stock remunerative at the south. Thei
is nothing in the soil, climate, product
and at certain seasons of the yea
markets of the south, to render lix
stock unprofitable. The difficulty ?B i
their treatment by us and our bavin
them partially ready for market at tl
wrong time.
Every winter oar loads, almost wit]
out number, of cattle, sheep, and hog
are brought by rail from Kentucky ar
Tennessee. These animals are fed upc
lorid often reaching two hundred dolla
per nor?. It is true thai animais r
quiring corn to fatten them can I
raised cheaper at th? west than at tl
south. But it ic also true th
animals whioh do not require corn
f fatten them, as cattls vane} sheep, can i
raised^jrith-i??oreased " economy ai
pr?nt as we go southward.
Every really thrifty larmer will rai

Wherever dover will grow, it require

(even Berkshire shoats, weighing abo
one hundred pounds each, all of the
lat enough for the knife, that have hi
no other food than that which they g
in a olover lot of three quarters of i
acre, since the middle of April, and w
receive no other food until Ootob?
when the pea field is open. There
scaroely a farm in the south whore t
soil has a clay foundation and is ma
sufficiently rich, wiiero the same thi
cannot be dono. One acre of rich la
in clover will keep in first rato gio wi
order ten hogs, that will mako t

Tho perfection of a cattle farm would
'bb a suflicent amount of oano, or swamp
lauds on which tho natural winter
grasses grow, al?o a sufficient amount
wf upland well set in Bermuda grass.
Tho cattle penned every night on
ground designed to provide winter food
for fattening them. Three year old
steers and heifers raised in this way,
taken from the swamp in January, well
sheltered and fed with turnips, poLutoes,
poa vines, straw or hny, would oe ready
for tho butcher in March, and bring a
handsome price. Under this treatment,
tho swamp or cane brako becomes a
Chincha island to the farmer who knows
what to do with ii. If money cannot
bo mado by cattlo raising upon a farm
so situated, under judicious manage
ment, then it cannot bo made by tbi3
branch of farming in any country.
Nothing is said of tho dairy, becauso
of the uncertainty of obtaining good
and reliable milkers. If this desidera
tum could bo steadily supplied, tho
dairy would be a source of great profit.
In ?8G0, tho butter crpp of tho state of
New York sold for moro money than
tho cotton crop of tho state of Georgia,
which was tho largest ever mide in that
state. This is ono of tho m partments
of agriculture in which wo must rely
for aid on foreign skilled labor-small
farmers owning their own lands, and
mauaging the dairy within themselves
and their rVmilies.
It must r.jt be forgotten that in suc
cessful stook raising, the judicious man
agement and husbandry of tho manure
is a vital point. Commoroial fertilisers
aro in certain aspects a necessity. If
the large cotton planter, could save oue
hnlf of his annual expenditures for fer
tilizers, by devoting a portion of his
time to livo stock, it would be a great
gain to himsolf and his land.
A striking instance of tho value of
this kind of manuring is found on thie
farm. Eeforonce is made to the crop of
six acres of turnips, fed ofT by sheep,
which was tho subject of a statement
by the commissioner of agriculture of
Georgia, in the Rural Carolinian last
winter. Tho success of the experiment
was entire. Enough of the turnips was
sold to amount to upwards of two hun
dred dollars, and sufiioiont were left tc
feed a flock of Merino sheep, upwards
of ono hundred in number. Tho ground
is now in cotton, corn, and ono and one
qnarter aero in onions. It is perfectlj
rich and clean, and tho growing cropf
promise beautifully. Tho enrichmenl
of those acres cost tko writor nothing,
in fact it was thrown in. They will b<;
sowed with oats in September, and ii
February with clover Orv th o oats. After
wards a judicious rotation for a term o
years will yield heavy crops withou
improvement or neccB?ity of manure.

In an interview with Mr. Wm. Curtis
a noted short-horn brooder of Michigan
the inquiry was propounded to bim
why is it yon prefer tho short-horn
Mr. Curtis, to any other brood of cattlo
Well, sir, he said, I oan very som
answer that queE*;ou. Because thor
is more profit in tin rn ; there is more o
thom, yon can got moro out of them
The calves and yonng stook bring mor
money ; they take on flesh faster. Th
cows give rich milk and the butter i
rich. I know this, for I have trie<
shortdiorn8 for years. They have n
superior for beef. They moko goo<
working oxen. They combino mor
good qualities than any other breed c
cattle. They cannot bo improved b;
orossing with any other breed. Cross
short-horn cow with a Devon or Ayrshir
or Jersey bull, and you lose size. Bu
the short-horn improves everything i
touches. It is tho best-known bree
for improving native stock, and fo
this pnrposo alone they are invaluable
They are kind and gent?o, eosily handled
good breeders and good mothers, heart
feeders, nud I prefer them to any othe
breed They all have their good points
but the short-horns, in my opinion, hav
the most best points.
HOW TO ITAIJIANTZR YOUR BEES.
To Italianize your bees safely and i
tho most profitable way, you must son
for a good Italian queen to introduce i
tho strongest colony of your apiarj
As soon as the new queen has arrived
take another empty hive of the sam
size, without bees, and insert a divisio
board so that yon will nave on your Iel
a little room in tho hive for four f ramef
Now take from tho colony which Bim
have the now queen, two combs wit
plenty of sealod brood. On one of thea
combs cage tho new queen ond brin
Uer with the second brood-comb and a
adhering bees, but withont tho ol
queen, in that little room, and give sti
two other combs containing only hone}
The other brood-combs of tho colon
transferred with the old queen and bet
in that room < 1 your right hand, clos
the hive ana then set it on tho ol
stand. After two or three days conlon
mont of tho new queen take ont tb o tw
combs from the httlo room at your le:
hand, cut out every queen cell, and s<
at liberty tho new queen. The bees <
this little colony will do her no hara
From this time you will have two queer
in one hive, and each queen will till tl)
cells with oggs in proportion to tb
number of her worker-bees in her roon
After some days, at your leisure, yo
may hunt out tho old queen in tb
strong colony. This done, you wi
opon some passage of the division boor
cut in it, and closed before yon hat
inserted it. Having opened tho pa
sagos, tho Btrong colony will not bnil
queon cells, and so becomo acquninte
with eaoh other. After one day or tw
you remove tho division board, fill u
its place with a comb from tho room i
your left hand, and you hav? safely ar.
in tho most profitable way, a new quel

The executive committee of the na-;?
tionnl grango have spent considerable
time in receiving and considering tho I
proposition of tho English co operators
for a union for commercial purposes of
tho two bodies. The co-operators aro i
represented by Thos. B. Worrall, of?
Manchester, England, who is tb ? man
aging director of the company which ia
proposed ns the bond of union. Tho
British co-operative societies are nat j
secret bodies ; hence it will bo imposai- < ?
bio under existing circumstances for
them to unite with tho patrons, but i
this difficulty has been met by the for
mation of a trading company having tho i
indorsement and support of the united ]
co-operative bodies in England, nnd ; i
fully organized under the English laws, j I
Tho propositions nre to hnve two J
branches of tho society, one in Englani.'
and tho other in the United States. 1
Tho board in 6ach country is to haveJ j
the absolute control of tho funds sub- i i
scribed therein, nnd nil to be used for '
the purpose of tho international ex- '
chnogo of commodities. The capital
is ?25,000,000. i
All transactions aro to be for cash or, j
its equivalent. The British co-opera
tors number 500,000 ; have over ono
thousand stores, some fifty or sixty cot- i
ton spinning mills, about twenty flour- t
ing mills, au agricultural and horticul
tural society, and a number of manu
factories, and, of course, consume a largo
quantity of American products. Tho
fnndB subscribed by the English branch
of the company will be employed
in the purchase of shipw, i he erec
tion of warehouses, nnd tho manu
facture of 8iioh articles as are in r
constant demand among the patrons of I
husbandry. These ships will bring tho i
goods to New Orlean.'i and other south- ?
ern ports, and to eastern ports if neces
sary, and they desire tho patrons to1
employ their portion of tho capital in
carrying American staples and producta . ?
to meet these ships, and thus to make -
the necessary exchango in the most |
direct and simple manner. The co
operators have a largo tmrplus capital,.
which is constantly on tho increase, and -
which they think can bo profitably em- i
ployed in this trade.
Whilo oaoh branoh of tho company j
will have control of its own affairs tho ^
two boards will form a council, who will .
by joint action decide what branches of *
business will bo ongnged in, and define .
the method of conducting tho samo.
An American will be sent to Liverpool 3
to watch the interests of tho grange <
branch of tho comppny, and tho Eng- r
lish board will have a Uko representa- ?
tive in Now Orleaus, while tho general
supervision will bo iu tho hands of a ?
mnnughig director, already elected, and !
who, though an Englishman born, baa f
been tweuty-threo years in America. B
Tho proposition is rogardod with ?rent
favor, and it is expected tho sub com
mittee of tho national prange, to whom j
tho whole matter has bom referred, will J
report Monday. -

WHAT'S THE MATTER 7
ri?e Time? Hani All Over the Worlil
Jjut a Wain ot Currency ls Not tile
Cause. York Tribune, July C.
There is no part of tho commercial
world whore there is not at the prosent
time more or less complaint of dull
times. These dull times are accounted
for in various ways, but the main cause
of them, in our opinion, ?B tho close inter
dependence among commercial nations.
Take England for an example. Let us
admit that she is the richest of nations,
amply supplied with capital for her own
uses, and having extensive productive
investments in all other countries.
Grant that her commercial system is
perfect and still we shall find that tho
power of her capital and tho advantages
of her colossal trade have their limita
tions. She cannot sell to those who aro
too poor to buy. She cannot transgress
the laws which regulate commercial
credit without suffering for it. With
abundant harvests and cheap food for
her trade languishes and every wound
inflicted on the nations with which she
trades is transmitted to her norvos as
by an electric shock. If dull times
taught no other lesson tuan the unity
of the modern commercial world they
would not bo without considerable com
pensations.
There is another way of accounting
for hard times, which was accepted as
the true theory by the majority in both
houses of tho last congress. These
gentlemen would persuade ns that the
wholo trouble comes from tho scaroity
of money. We bog to refer these gen
tlemen to tho financial condition of
England, France and tho United States
at tins very time, as a practical demon
stration that scaroity of money has
nothing to do with tho universal dull
ncBB of trade. Wo point to the re
markable faot that in each of the coun
tries named unemployed money is ex
traordinary abundant. Finally, wo in
vite attontiou to the circumstance that
all this money in England, France and
America is offered tho public on the
usual conditions which govern bank
loans and discounts at very moderate
rates of interest. In France the rate
for over a year has boen only four per
cent, and in London for more than four
months the discount rate bas remained
fixed at three and a half. Does this
show that the business world is suffer
ing for want of a circulating medium,
either gold or paper ?
